THE BRO'^TN TROUT. The Brown Trout of Europe, Sahnofario, has been successfully intro- duced into our waters by the U. S. Fish Commission, Eggs were first received from Herr Von Behr, the President of the Deutsche Fischerei-Verein, in the winter of 1882-'83, and were sent directly from New York to the station at Northville, where they arrived February 18. These were successfully hatched out by Mr. Clark by the middle of March, and early in April were planted by him in a branch of the Pere Marquette River of Northern Michigan. Early in 1S83 another lot of eggs was sent to Mr. Mather as a personal present by Herr Von Behr. Most of those kept at this station died, but those sent to the Northville Station and to the station of the New York Fish Commission at Caledonia were reported as doing well. In 1884 Herr Von Behr sent an additional gift, this time to the U. S. Fish Com- mission, in care of Mr. Mather, and a lot of 10,000 was received from England. These did better than those of 1883, and many were distributed to various New York waters. On the 21 St of February Mr. Mather forwarded to Washington 2,000 of the large kind of Salmo fario, and 9,000 of the small variety. These were transferred to the Wytheville Station, and were hatched with fair success, but all died before beginning to eat. A few of the German trout reared at the Northville Station spawned in December, 1885, and 8,000 eggs were obtained. Two lots of eggs, 23,000 in number, were forwarded from the Cold Spring Harbor Station, the second lot of which (13,000) arrived in poor condition. From these 31,000 eggs, 20,000 fry were hatched, which were retained at the st
